Altamonte Grips
I got myself a set of Altamonte boot grips for my 686. When I saw them on Hickock45's 3" 686 I just had to have a set. I got them and they were okay, but they had square-ish edges that hurt my hand. I just finished hand fitting them and sanded them down to smooth out the sharp edges. Now they look and feel great. Altamonte makes nice grips, but you may need to do a little work to them to make them perfect for you. No big deal. It was actually a fun little project. I finished them by rubbing in a little ballistol. (pretty fancy eh?) Since I use it cleaning the gun it will not be a big deal if I get it on the grips.
